EaseMyTrip has announced a significant leadership change with Prashant Pitti stepping down as Managing Director, effective immediately, and co-founder Nishant Pitti taking charge as Chairman and Managing Director from August 29, 2025, subject to shareholders’ approval. Nishant, who has been associated with the company since its inception in 2008, had earlier served as CEO before stepping down earlier this year for personal reasons. His return in a more prominent role is expected to bring renewed focus on scaling operations, strengthening EaseMyTrip’s position in the competitive travel-tech sector, and expanding into new business areas. Market experts believe this move highlights the company’s strategic intent to diversify into a broader digital services ecosystem while maintaining its core travel business. Nishant Pitti recently attempted to sell part of his 14% promoter stake, offloading only 1.4%, and has since reiterated that no further promoter shares will be sold, reflecting strong promoter confidence. EaseMyTrip has also reaffirmed its commitment to financial discipline, with all promoters continuing to draw zero salary to align long-term interests with investors. Analysts suggest that the combination of leadership reshuffle, robust financials, and customer loyalty positions EaseMyTrip well for future growth and diversification in India’s booming digital economy.
